    If it is that simple why not make a quick toggle button? Most people do not want to/do not know how to edit the game files.

    Good point. As long they could be toggled on/off, it wouldn't be a problem either way.

    They're useful sometimes...other times, they're annoying. Like when you've got JUST the perfect moment for a flanking attack, only to be yanked out of a battle, and, once given control again, the computer's blocked the gap. Its pretty rare, but it happens.

    I say do some kind of picture-in-picture notification. A little screen that pops up in a corner of the screen showing the cinematic. That or make it optional. Or both.

    I voted "gah!". I do remember cinematics being annoying in crucial moments (and pressing pauses stops the cinematic also, which is logical), and it probably costed me a few soldiers from time to time. But they're nice.
    Of course I'm all for a setting which would able/disable them. As I don't mind not having it, but I don't mind having it.

    To sum it up: Vuk, go for the toggle button!

    It would be a good idea to have the option to skip if those cinematics sucks.

    should be optional, its kind of irritating when you miss an opportunity to charge or pull you king away from certain death just because some captain has fallen.

    on the other hand, the cinematics adds niely to the sense of occasion when said king dies.

    I'd vastly prefer if they used picture in picture. That is, it pops up in a window in the corner, without taking away your control.

    And even then I'd want it optional. But with PiP I might actually keep it switched on.
